(5,730 posts)they haven't a clue what it means. Geez, taking the mafia middle man, the health insurance companies, out of the system, so patient's could get treatment, we can't let them figure that out. We must bury the facts, in the name of God and the insurance industry.
How great would it be for businesses if they didn't have to worry about insurance for their employees? Huge reduction in overhead. Wind to their sails. Bury this obvious fact.
How much would we save if children and adults could get Healthcare before a minor problem becomes a permanent life threatening problem? No common sense allowed.
Why are we the only country in the western civilized world
that pursues this indulgence of greed on the sick with budget busting, backbreaking, life destroying consequences?
I think it is still the ignorance of the socialist threat, AND pure nasty resentment that anyone but the rich should have dignity of life.
